Now, I know some of you thought the Season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones was a bit slow, but, things are starting to pick up in Episode 2, even if they are still, basically, plotting out allegiances.

Team Daenerys

So, queue bad weather at Dragonstone so Varys (Conleth Hill) can remind everyone how Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) got the name “Stormborn.” It’s not enough to stop the mother of dragons calling him out of being a turncoat against kings. Which he is, but Varys totally has a comeback. He is for the people and not the leaders. Varys insists he will do anything to help the commoners, and it is enough — for the moment — to keep his head attached to his body.
